Waterfront, Dog Friendly - West In Townsend Lodge

Welcome to West In Townsend Lodge, hosted by Simple Life Rentals! This home is located on 100 feet of private waterfront with access to the Townsend Flowage, a 400+ acre full recreational lake. The 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is the perfect place to enjoy all that the Wisconsin seasons are known for.

Whether guests decide to enjoy the cozy living room with gas fireplace, the expansive deck overlooking the water, or venture onto the water or nearby ATV/snowmobile trails, there is something for everyone. The fully stocked kitchen, propane grill and outdoor bonfire pit enable guests to enjoy all of the comforts of home. The dock (installed seasonally) enables guests to take full advantage of the water to swim, boat or just relax. The Townsend and Lakewood areas have extensive options for outdoor fun no matter what season you visit!

We love our family pet dogs and welcome yours too! Your well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval. This property allows up to 2 dogs. There is a fee of $45 per dog/per night, which is collected separately and approximately one week prior to your check-in date.
